Ableton turn teachers

The makers of Live have released an interactive set of free music production lessons that you can work through in your web browser. The course covers beats, notes and scales, chords, basslines and melodies, before moving on to discuss song structure, using numerous examples of well-known tracks as jumping-off points. There’s also ‘the playground’, which enables you to experiment with all the interactive tools featured in the lessons, and some more advanced music theory information. What’s more, any patterns you create can be exported for use in Live. You can head on over to learningmusic.ableton.com to get started right away.
